CHAPTER 81: COULD IT HAVE BEEN CHI YU?

Li Yan was silent at first, but when she saw Lin Xijiang handing over the phone that had been stolen from her, her emotions collapsed immediately, and she began to cry loudly and heart-wrenchingly.

"Why didn’t you come looking for me?"

"Why didn’t anyone come to find me?"

"The storeroom was so dark, and the rustling sounds in the orchard were so scary. I curled up in the corner all night, scared to death, and you only found me this morning. You didn’t even care if I lived or died..."

"I’m going to sue this production team, it’s completely irresponsible! I’m going to sue you all."

Everyone: "..."!!

There were many people around last night, and with the staff coming and going, no one noticed anyone sneaking in or leaving anything behind.

Li Yan’s stolen phone was quietly placed on the stone table under the grape arbor last night, and everyone thought she had just left without her phone.

Yu Yang said, "Calm down, shouting won’t help. It’s your own fault for locking yourself in the orchard storeroom all night without a phone. Are you deliberately trying to make it difficult for everyone?"

Lin Xijiang said, "There was a power outage in the storeroom last night, as the village chief announced in advance. Why didn’t you call for help while you were in there?"

Sheng Yi said, "Going to the orchard alone without telling anyone—why on earth did you go alone? It’s one thing to not take your phone, but even the cameraman? Should we call it bad luck or extremely bad luck?"

Being criticized one after another, Li Yan couldn’t explain herself and pouted in grievance.

She didn’t dare to shout; it was pitch black, and she was afraid her voice would attract other animals...

At this moment, Li Yan didn’t dare to say that Chi Yu had arranged to meet her last night. It was all her own fault for trusting that person’s nonsense and foolishly agreeing to go to the storeroom in the orchard.

Thinking it over, Chi Yu couldn’t possibly be interested in her. How could he suddenly arrange a meeting with her?!

It was all because she was too excited and lost her head at the time.

It must have been that woman!

That snake-hearted woman actually found someone to take revenge on her!

Locking her in the storeroom all night and even threatening her!!

Li Yan gritted her teeth and vowed she would make her pay!! Make her pay the price!

"Weng Lan has sent someone to pick you up. They’re on their way now," Director Liu Xu sighed heavily, lamenting how everything seemed to be going wrong with this episode of filming. He then said to Sheng Yi, "Sheng Yi, help Li Yan pack her things, so she can leave as soon as her ride arrives."

Sheng Yi nodded, "Alright, no problem."

Although Li Yan didn’t have any visible physical injuries, her emotional state was quite disturbed. Director Liu Xu suggested taking her back to the hospital for a checkup.

Sheng Yi didn’t refuse. In this situation, even if Sheng Yi didn’t like Li Yan, refusing would have aroused suspicion.

But Sheng Yi secretly laughed, wondering who exactly had played this trick on Li Yan.

Yuanyuan would never do something so pointless. In fact, Yuanyuan never even paid attention to Li Yan, considering her nothing more than a clown.

Could it have been Chi Yu who did it?

But that makes no sense!

Chi Yu and Li Yan were involved; he cared for Li Yan too much to do something like this to her.

The others didn’t have a motive either. The more Sheng Yi thought about it, the more confused she became.

Not long after Li Yan was picked up, Chi Yu also arrived at the Ancient Water Village.

Another day under the scorching sun.

Chi Yu changed rooms and moved into the room that Gu Yuan had stayed in.

This room hadn’t been rented out to the production team. The furnishings inside were neat and clean, indicating that the owner had tidied up thoroughly before leaving.
